i had loads of those tranformer toys back in the old days i loved the ones where you buy 5 of em and hook em up. i clearly recall ones based on little racing or stunt cars and then one based on sea creatures

The racing ones were the Stunticons... I had one of the cars and the boss who was a big truck.

I can't recall the names of the sea creatures, but I had the spider/crab type one and the boss who was a sort of an evil turtle with big guns on his back... They had great fight with Megatron in the comics.

Jim

How many movies did M.A.S.K have staring Eric Idle, Leonard Nemoy, and Orsen Wells?
Case closed tbh.

I think I always perfered Transformers because they were able to show alot more gore than M.A.S.K. You could show a robots arm getting blown off, but not really a humans.

aye those are the ones iirc one of the cars was yellow and then they had the funky sticker thing which you could rub.

the sea creatures were all black and turquoise one of them was like a manta ray and the boss guy with the big guns that would move forward and back when you moved the thing on his back.

i also had this transformer that what looked like a scud missile on this back which turned into a gun when he transformed he as a big one kinda greeny blue any one remember him?

Woden

He did look alot like Blastoise actually...

His name was Snap Trap, I found him here

I had him too.. I think his name was Double Dealer, he could change into a missile launcher and a big bird thing... he was also a power master as he came with a little guy who transformed into his engine.

Woden

quality nostalgia going on here. bang oh monkeyfudge double dealer he was

Probably should have linked this earlier. Its a Transfomer Identifier.

Yes, Dreadwind was pretty cool. I didn't have that one though. He could link up with Darkwing to form an even bigger plane. Handled the letters pages in the comic after Grimlock stopped doing it.

Woden

i think i may have had darkwing as well at some stage. i was looking through the other planes and recogiized octane, quickswitch and trigger happy as ones either i had or perhaps my friends had

Irish_Kamikaze

One last question! Was the TRUCK optimus primes trailer a transformor or was it just part of optimus prime? I really can't remember?

Jim

It was part of Optimus Prime. Whenever he transformed into the truck it would mysteriously appear out of nowhere and attach to the back of him. Although techinally part of him, it was seperate. Think it contained three little robot dudes and could also transform into a gun turret.

Nietzschean

well in S01, was only one little thing, looked like a remote control toy, and his gun turret, which survived all of 10secs the time it was used

Irish_Kamikaze

How did it blow up? Like if its his most powerfull gun why was it so weak!?

Sorry, Kami but I really don't understand your question.
People shot it and it blew up? There's really no other explanation I can give you.
